I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Credit Suisse in November 2016.

Interview

In order to get the interview had to meet and get on the phone with a number of analysts, and talk about your interests in the internship. I got an on campus interview and it was extremely technical. Basically just walk me through your resume and then the rest of the interview was technical.

Interview

Standard on-campus recruiting process at target school for summer internship that led to full time job. Consistent of two 30 minute interviews held on campus and one dinner the night before the final round. Very standard, predictable questions. I would recommend reading the Vault guide and preparing detailed responses ahead of time because there is very little room for error in the short process.

Interview

Straightforward, Friendly. Given that I already had another pending offer from the same division at a rival bank, they kept the interview straight-forward. Was geared towards making me meet as many people as possible. No technical questions, but if you already have experience there is no point anyways.

Interview

Contacted to go up to NYC to the office. First we had this lunch and networking, and then there was a series of interviews. I had three interviews overall, each took about 30 minutes. Mostly behavioral/fit questions. Interviewers were nice and I think they did a good job of providing a welcoming and not-too-intense atmosphere so that you felt comfortable before going in to the interview.
